Pellicano dresser by Vittorio Introini for Saporiti Italia 1960

An iconic and rare piece of Italian design, this chest of drawers belonging to the "Pellicano" series represents one of the most sophisticated and recognizable creations by Vittorio Introini, a visionary designer who was able to combine functionality, experimentation and architectural rigor. Produced by Saporiti Italia around 1960, this chest of drawers perfectly embodies the innovative spirit of Italian modernism of the time. Made of walnut veneer with a warm and deep patina, the structure stands out for its sinuous and enveloping profile, with curved corners and chiselled details that betray a very high quality of execution. The slightly rounded top and the connected sides give the piece of furniture a sculptural elegance and a visual dynamism unusual for the time.
